TFW2005 is thrilled to bring this news post to your attention as it contains an overwhelming amount of stunning artwork. Presented here is concept art for Transformers Age of Extinction by artist Vitaly Bulgarov. We’ve included a sample of the images from the various galleries (most notably of which are Lockdown concepts, and of interesting note his personally designed character Widowmaker) so be sure to check out all of the images at Bulgarov’s webpage.
These images may contain some spoilers for those who have not seen AOE yet, so please proceed at your own risk.
Check out TFW’s selection of photos after the break!

I suspect that Widow Maker will eventually be the model for Black Arachnia

It's taken down on his main site, but here is album if all of it, in crisp quality.
This guy is the go to guy for renders, concepts, and art.

Most of the concept art got pulled down a while ago.

Sorry to bump this thread, but has anyone noticed that the site is now lacking all the TF4 concept art? It says it's "coming soon." I really wanted to check out Drift's head designs.

Possible, and how great Vitaly's work is he's the next Ben Procter in the art dept.

Widow Maker looks great.

I don't think I agree with that. His work looks organic, yes, but it is still very mechanical and industrial, just in a very refined way. It's one of his trademarks as an artist.

As I said in the Nizzi thread, I think is these 2 concept artists worked together side by side on the next movie, between the 2, their designs could feed off each other and we could probably get the best movies designs yet for movie 5.

I can see why Bulgarov was liked so much. His designs represent a different aesthetic from what we've seen before: they're smoother and more organic, they feel like they employ liquid metal; they pose a new, different threat from the previous film's Decepticons.
That said, I find his work too smooth, too fluidy. As AOE showed, the transformations for Lockdown and the other Transformers now even more utilize the lack of sliding/moving parts that form a trademark of TF.
I admire his spacecraft/scope designs, but that was all that impressed me.

Waiting for more Galvatron.
Tell what you say,for me Galvatron is awesome…more than Lockdown…
For my,he is…

it feeds our soul as an artist

We know NOTHING about her… the character is female, evil, and called WIDOWmaker (black widow). We have no idea what her altmode is
PrimeTime85
The sad part is they didn't go thru with it or even consider it. Im really hoping for a Fembot in 5.

I'm normally not a fan of the movie faces but Hound's face looks awesome
AlexaStar
Wait, there was a chance for a female Transformer to be in this movie? And in the end she wasn't?
Fuck everything.

Axer/Axor would be fantastic and I really really want to see him. His action-master toy from G1 was my fave action master by far, and the retool of RotF Lockdown's toy into him was awesome. I loved how his head was kind of an evil version of Wheeljack's, with the ears and mouth plate.
I agree with others that they probably won't do another bounty hunter, but I wish they would. Something about the lone-wolf villain is just so damn cool. I wouldn't mind seeing Axer as an older, even more experienced/trophied-up hunter. Give him a heavily modified Jeep alt-mode to suit his off-road character. Maybe have him hunting Galvatron but kill an autobot just for sport at some point.

There's actually quite a bit of Lamborghini in the final model that made it into the film.
Many of the Aventador's body panels are on there, divided up. The car is so angular with so many edges that it is really easy to divide up. They basically designed the entire robot before figuring out how to make it transform, and then placed panels and car parts on it. Given how well it turned out, I hope they continue to do this. I don't really give a fuck about the toys.
Also on the final model are the lights, the hood (divided up but you can clearly see the lamborghini emblem cut in half), the tires (yes, they're there. The tire goes into 4 quarters and extends out from the rim a bit, then lays flat on other panels, they're in his biceps/triceps and his butt in the film), and the brake calipers. I'm sure there's more but that's what I caught in one viewing.
